Man City Form
Manchester City recorded their seventh straight win in all competitions when they beat Brighton on Wednesday, with the clean sheet being their fifth one during that period.
Pep Guardiola is slowly getting his players back from coronavirus related absences, and they are coming back just at the right time as some of his players looked pretty ‘leggy’ against the Seagulls.
Thing are beginning to look pretty ominous for their title rivals, as City have three home fixtures from their next four, and their toughest fixture in their next five comes against Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace Form
If you missed Crystal Palace’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal on Thursday, then count yourself lucky. It really was a drab affair, but Roy Hodgson won’t care, and he will be delighted with the point.
After a couple of sub-par performances against Liverpool and Aston Villa, the Eagles are unbeaten in three in the league. They drew with Leicester, before beating Sheffield United and the aforementioned draw at the Emirates.

Man City v Crystal Palace betting tip
For all of City’s good form, the area that they have improved in is in defence. Guardiola’s side have kept 11 clean sheets from their last 14 in all competitions, and at home it’s six from seven.
Putting the ball in the net hasn’t come as easy as usual for them though, as they have scored just 25 Premier League goals this year – a total bettered by nine other clubs.
The visitors will clearly sit in and defend, and they are on a run of four games to see Under 2.5 backers collect. Away from home, five of their last seven have ended with two goals or fewer.
